Today’s podcast features Cameron Josse, Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach at Auburn University. With experience at Indiana University Football and DeFranco’s Training Systems, Cameron has worked with athletes from various levels and sports like NFL, NHL, UFC, and WWE. A former football player at the University of Rhode Island and current PhD candidate at Jean Monnet University, Cameron’s approach to performance training is both practical and comprehensive.
As we move forward in sports performance training, there is more data around speed training for athletes than ever, as well as corresponding logistics and systems. We are understanding that physical preparation is not a one-sized fits all approach, not only between sports, as well as within positions in a single sport. By better understanding key aspects of speed development on an individual level, as well as in knowing the evolving role of strength training over time, we can better serve the needs of the individual athlete.
On today’s episode, Cameron will cover the process of optimizing resisted sprint protocols in college football athletes, as well as important individual differences he sees between positions and maximal speed ability. We will cover strength training in light of long term athlete speed and power development, sprint biomechanics and injury prevention, as well as concepts of integration between strength and sport skill staffs. Cameron is a brilliant coach with an expansive view of the training process. This conversation is a valuable addition for anyone interested in long term development of speed and athleticism.

Cameron Josse Quotes
“It’s like you’re not going to get a ton of return on it if you just keep chasing (gym strength) forever and ever and ever. It seems like there’s a certain point where enough is enough, right?” – Cameron Josse”
What we’re finding is that the, like, the step velocity itself, like how fast the leg moves through the push phase, is really, really important for the bigs. It seems like it. There’s a big correlation to performance for those guys, but it’s not really. It doesn’t seem to be as big of an important factor for the skill guys. Cameron Josse
The bigs are so big, they have less opportunity to compensate to a certain degree. Yeah, like, they. It’s like, I got to get this big body moving, and, like, we all kind of need to self organize to do this better or else we’re not going to move, you know.
